Super Saiyan Aftermath
Chapter 15 Exquisite Pain
Cell looked on the new warrior, nonplussed. Cable transformed into a different kind of Super Saiyan, untested strength, there might be a problem for Cell's plans, but not enough of one. Cell smiled at his new foe, contemplating this Saiyan's power, when an elbow slammed home in his jaw, sending him reeling. Quickly righting himself, he whipped an energy bolt at Cable, only to have it slapped back at him, followed by several dozen more blasts. Cell tried at first to avoid these, but ended up blocking, finally putting up a barrier. Cable flew in at his opponent, punching through the barrier into Cell's face.
Cell righted himself and flew back at the Saiyan, forcing a powered up fist to crush the air where Cable's head was, only to receive a boot in the face. Cell powered up more and threw a left punch, followed by a roundhouse kick. Cable punched Cell's fist as it loomed in, knocking it away, instantly shifting his arm sideways, blocking the kick. Cell punched Cable in the stomach while Cable stopped the kick. Cable's upper body started to double over, when he forced himself to stop and uppercut Cell. The bio-android flew backwards, when Cable rushed in and started to pummel his stomach.
Cell, being racked with pain, screamed to stop Cable's assault and surprise him. Then Cell flipped right in front of Cable, bringing his heel down on Cable's head, knocking him down into the ground below. Cable flew back up, in Cell's immediate proximity, and started a machine gun speed of ki bolts. The area filled with a dull gold around Cell's body. A fist flew out of the golden cloud, into Cable's face, knocking him sideways. Cable cartwheel in the air and launched several more blasts at Cell, followed by a Zanzoken, where Cable landed a punch on the back of Cell's head. Cable jumped over Cell, kicking him in the face and landing right in front of him.
Cell felt slightly intimidate, until he saw Cable's weak spot, his recently injured shoulder that didn't quite heal all the way. Cell started the offensive on the assumption that he would favor the shoulder and try to stop hits from it, but was sorely wrong when Cell threw a deceptive punch that looked stronger than it was at the wound. Cable felt it and let it hit, bring his arm back, and releasing a punch into Cell's throat, causing the android's eyes to go wide in shock and grab his throat. Cable brought a knee into Cell's face, knocking him into the air. Cable punched in the midriff of Cell as he flew up.
Cell doubled over in shock and pain. Cell summoned all of the power he could muster out of Goku and Gotenks. With Cable looking on angrily, Cell powered up to his maximum, closing the gap. Cable felt the power increase and smirked. He held out both hands, palms up and each finger started to glow with energy. Seconds later, a ball rose from each glowing finger. The ten spirit balls floated around Cable in a wide orbit. Cell knew the attack well, its singular form anyhow.
"TEN TIMES KAMEHAMEHA!" Cell screamed, launching a red beam at Cable, its power enough to kill him, if he failed to defend. Unluckily for Cell, that wasn't the case.
"SuperNova!" Cable spoke the attack, rather than forcefully invoking it. Cable's black beam met the red one mid-stride. Cable didn't even try to put more energy into it, he just let it consume normally. Cell smiled at this, knowing how much they both held back. Cell poured more and more energy into his blast, expanding his beam and smashing down the other. Cable acknowledged the power increase with a mere raised eyebrow and a yawn. Cell poured the max amount of energy into the beam, expanding the size again.
This time, Cable responded by putting just enough energy in to stop the Kamehameha. Cell groaned. Knowing full well this could take forever, Cell removed one hand, noticing how sharply his beam lost power, and quickly fired a Special beam cannon down the middle of both blasts. Cable noted the whole thing and moved, letting his blast die down and get enveloped by the Kamehameha. Cell watched and wondered where Cable went, when something hit him in the gut, doubling him over. Something else hit him in the face.
Cell couldn't lock onto the ki as he continued to be pummeled. He sensed Cable behind him. Dread flooded through him as he realized he was being pummeled by spirit balls. He continued to try to block them, determined now. Cell knew what Cable was doing, powering an attack, but was helpless to save himself.
Cable had his hands at his right side, the palms of his hands were together, with his left hand facing down and his right facing up. His fingers were on his wrists as he powered up, an orb appeared between his hands, forcing them apart slightly."Crisis Wave!!" Cable shouted from behind Cell. A giant beam of blue energy rushed forward, there were specks of energy that glittered in the beam, as it race forward towards the defenseless Cell. As the beam neared, the Spirit Balls stopped attacking Cell and floated away from him. As the beam hit home and exploded, the Spirit Balls flew into the blast and made the explosion even bigger. As the dust from the explosion wafted away, Cell's form was there, well some of it. Cell's legs below the knees were gone, as well as his arms at the elbows. His left leg was ripped off almost completely at the middle of the thigh, and his right arm wasn't there at all, part of that side of his chest was gone. His horns were ripped down to the top of his head, there were lacerations all over him.
"Looks like you've seen better days, fool." Cable admonished.
"D..damn you. SAIYAN!" Cell fixed what was broken on him, taking quite a bit of power to do so. The fight wasn't close anymore. Cell's body expanded as he forced all of his energy to strength. He rushed forward as best his wide legs would carry him. He grabbed Cable's shoulders, and Cable responded in kind by doing the same. They stood, Cell hunched, Cable stretched, both staring each other in the eyes. Cable slammed his knee into Cell's chin, and watched with satisfaction as it knocked his head backwards. Cell forced his chin downward, pushing away Cable's leg. Cell then picked up Cable and suplexed him into the ground. Before Cell could get up, Cable punched Cell in the face and watched smugly as Cell's lip started to bleed again.
Cell was on the losing side and he knew it. It was time to become tricky. He prepared what looked like another special Beam Cannon, his fingertips gingerly touching his forehead. When it was ready, he smiled as he fired. Cable watched on disapprovingly as a wave of energy came out, not a beam. Cable felt how relatively weak it was and didn't even attempt to block it. As it hit, the actual beam broke out of the wave, piercing Cable's left shoulder, causing his eyes to widen in utter pain. Cell used the opportunity to rush Cable and uppercut him in the face.
As Cable drifted upward, Cell caught his foot and slammed him back down, making a Cable shaped mark in the ground. Cell then began stomping on Cable's face and chest, causing blood to spew forth on his foot. Cell continued to stomp until Cable didn't move again. Cell then lowered his hand, palm open, aimed at Cable's midriff.
"Big Bang Attack." Cell muttered, relieved the fight was over. The ball of energy struck Cable's chest and exploded in a blinding flash, the air surrounding him dispersing, making the air in the area thicker for a second as the sound faded. Cell turned to walk away and a fist drove through his gut. Cell slumped forward on the attacker.
Cable removed his fist from the attacker. His solid white hair stained with red. Cable was happy he won, but couldn't smile. Again things were taken from him. There was stirring on the ground. Cable looked down to see Cell looking up at him smiling. Cell flipped to his feet and kicked Cable's leg from the side, shattering his knee. Cable cried out in pain, instantly hopping on one foot. Cell backhanded Cable across the ground. Cable couldn't get up, not with a broken knee.
Cell looked on, impressed with himself for disabling such a fighter in a quick decisive way. Cell quickly picked up a rock and smashed Cable's hand with it before he could defend himself. Again Cable screamed. Cell went to work on the other hand, quickly breaking it. Cable rolled over, and even though it hurt doing so, he used his legs to rocket him upwards, slightly flying. His hands were horribly twisted, along with his left leg. His aura was small, and his hair seemed to droop a bit. Cell laughed at his disheveled opponent. Cable floated lower and lower by the second. Each ounce of blood he lost, he took a dip in his power. Cable could barely think straight.
Cable suddenly smirked, bringing out all of his remaining power. Tien, you freaking genius!! Cable powered his extremities, creating two more sets of arms, and another set of legs in front of his old ones. Cable then forced his old limbs to become the new limbs, trading places. Then Cable returned to normal, having full mobility again. But there was the sucking wound in his chest and the severe lack of energy. Cable put the rest of the energy he could spare in this one. Balls of energy began to form out of his aura, each one a spirit ball. Cable made twenty and decided the rest of his energy should be used for close range combat, should it come to that.
Cell saw this turn of events and became afraid, very afraid. Cell tried to copy the technique, expecting to fail. But Android 17's intelligence and his own combined, allowed him to succeed. To a point. Cell created around ten of the spirit balls, and their form was sloppy, not a neat orbit. Cable launched all of his at Cell, and Cell's spirit attacks tried to defend. Cell put more energy in his Spirit Balls than Cable could. Cell's attacks could take out one and a half of Cable's if they hit. Cable knew this and sped up his own. Cell's couldn't keep up. Cable formulated an idea just then.
Cable's Spirit Balls converged on Cell, making a ring around him. The balls laced together, making a binding around Cell's arms and upper body. Cell's Spirit attacks close in and started to beat on the band of energy, which in turn hurt Cell more and more. Then Cable had ten balls come out of the ring, staying close. Cell's beat down on them, making small explosions all around Cell. He screamed out in agony as the explosions occurred. Cable reeled Cell in with his mind. Cable forced the ring tighter and tighter. Cell began to lose consciousness.
Cable walked up to the beaten warrior and punched him fully in the face, using his mind to make him stay where he was. Cable continued to punch Cell in the face, not allowing him to recoil. Cable decided to put a little bit more energy into the ring. As he did so, it tightened considerably. Cell gasped as he felt his armor-like skin crack. His gut was being crushed. Cell's head drooped. Eye's rolling up, he gagged. To Cable's surprise and Cell's exasperation, twin Goku's fell out. Cable decided that was a little too weird and was going to kill him for trying to trick him, when he saw both Gokus stir.
"Goku is that you?" Cable asked, certifiably perturbed.
"Yeah, it's us. I'll tell you later. Can you get Gotenks out too?"
"I'll try." With that, Cable tightened the ring as best he could, to no avail. Goku can finish the fight if I can't. Cable thought as he put the rest of his energy into the ring. It tightened enough to break the skin. It cut deeply into Cell, causing Gotenks and Super 17 to pop out. Cell reverted to his "Perfect" form and was promptly cut in half by the ring.
"Cell you don't even deserve Hell. We'll find you a place, one of the Goku's said as it carried the beaten Cell away, one half on each shoulder. As for 17, he couldn't get stronger, so the other Goku took him back to Hell.
--Hell--
"That is unbelievable! Beaten again!" Babidi snorted. "Well that fool failed for the last time." Babidi and Bibidi both focused on Cell, causing him to selfdestruct. Greatly injuring the shepherd Goku.
--King Yemma's place--
The battered Goku walked in. He told the orderly of the Afterlife everything he knew about the situation. The great red man sent Goku on his way, contemplating on an extermination squad in Hell.
--Afterlife--
"We still lost Gohan and Vegeta. That monster! I can't believe I failed to save them, or stop Cell from absorbing you guys. It's a good thing the Portrara failed, but why didn't the Fusion Dance?"
"Stop beating yourself up. As for the Portrara, they can't be used by pure evil, at least that's my theory." The Goku responded. Just as he said that, the other Goku arrived.
"I've been thinking. What if one of us was to become smart while the other trained? Training of body and mind could never be so effective." The two Goku's conversed thusly for a while. They shook hands and flew in different directions. As that happened, an ogre ran up to Cable.
"King Yemma wants to see you. He has a mission for you, if you complete he'll give you a reward."
"Take me to him." The ogre grabbed Cable's hand and teleported back to his boss' office. Cable looked up at the giant, as Yemma quickly did a little more paperwork before acknowledging Cable's appearance.
"I need you to go to Hell and stop the wizards before they make another Majin. I hear that's what their up to."
"Why me? What about Goku? Or Goten or Trunks?" Cable asked, begrudgingly.
"Because they have done enough for me. If you do this, I'll give you a reward."
"I want Vegeta and Gohan back."
"I can't do that. They ceased to exist, therefore leaving the realm of my power or any others."
"What about the Supreme Kai? Or the rumors of the Elder Kais realm. Surely they would have the power."
"Maybe so, but you aren't going there, ever. Do this mission and I may give you a pass to see the Supreme Kai, the only mortal allowed to speak with them."
"May is not a word I like. And besides, I need to rest, I'm injured."
"Fine, I will give you a pass. And you will just have to take a Senzu bean. Good Day."
